After my lap has been stolen I started by installing on the old wreck debian squeeze with icewm then 'upgraded' to xfce but it was not that easy. Now that I discovered Ubuntu I don't want to change any more. If I am [very] lucky the stolen lap would be returned to me by the police.

As for the switch you refer to, I don't know where to find it in Ubuntu.

Honestly the mouse thing is not to big a limitation, at least for using foobar
